It's been a while since I took the boat out. I noticed that I'm having some steering issues lately, so need to look into that matter.
Otherwise, it was a good day, but not great. No macks anywhere to be found when i heard they were everywhere the day before. Steve and I caught a few dozen assorted rockfish on megabaits as well as calico and sand bass.

Even caught my first Shlongfish in a while.

We had treefish, gophers, vermillion, Olive, Bank and calico rockfish as well as a handful of calico and sand bass.
I switched up baits to play around a bit with a 6oz lead head I poured and painted on a 10" grub. Total lingcod bait.... or apparently whitefish bait!?!? How in the hell did he do that????

Then we made a move and I experimented bass fishing with the big grub and wanted to send Chris pics of the spotlock. It's become too funny to lighten up now. LOL

I caught 3 big sandies and a cali before calling it the day. Last thing I expected was to have the sandies so aggressively smash that huge bait!
Both 4# class fish on the 10" grub!

Well, it was a decent day. Not great, but just felt good to be off Terra Firma.
Thanks for reading!
You were killing it later in the day. I think i did better without the spot lock.
Great day to be on the water.
Glad you guys got out, being on the water is good for the soul :)
